Does the USB cord function as the MIDI connector or do I need separate/additional MIdi cords?

The USB cord to the MPK works as a MIDI interface in Windows 8.1. Just be aware that if using the USB cord to power the MPK49 then the regular MIDI ports on the MPK49 function as extension ports for your computer, not as regular MIDI Ports on the MPK49. If you want to use the MPK49 standalone MIDI ports you'll need an alternate power supply. Hope that helps.

This is a midi interface, you need to connect this to a "brain" that can be a computer or even an ipad or iphone with the correct usb cable. Remember, without a computer this is only a device with a set of piano like keys that won't make any sound.

Go to Amazon or Ebay and type in USB to MIDI cable and see which one fits your needs. Make sure the ends are correct (male or female).

I'm using a ASUS laptop and have no problems. It must be Windows 7 and have at least 2 GHZ (Gigahertz). I don't use a midi so I can't answer that. The guy below is giving another similar response to that question.

This is done at the sound card if there is latency or make sure your usb and midi cables are configured properly

Its usb compliant. It works with any midi controllable software. You can use fishmans software interface also for native integration

No that has to be put on the computer but it give you 3 usb port to plug in mouse, Midi-controller, and more usb devices. It's useful for the Usb but mine has given me problems lately and I today Just got a Scarlett 6i6 so I'm going to see if it's as good as they say

I have not used this with OS X but I think there should be no problem with any software that handles midi input via USB.

Mine came with both in and out stereo cable (dim5 to small stereo 2.5mms I guess).No software included. I haven't find any Free App that use this Midi Interface, at least none that seems useful.Please do some research before buying. I didn't, and the results is that I barely use it.

yes it does on fl studios 10 go to settings-midi and make sure the input box recongnize your device if not re scan midi devices which is a option at the bottom...beware that the usb port on device is very sensitive and may break if you drop it on the floor which what happen to me..personally i recommend the Akai Professional MPK Mini 25-Key Ultra-Portable USB MIDI Keyboard Controller and its much better than the lpd8..trust me...usb port on both devices and sensitive try not drop them or yank usb cord out

Hi, The interface includes two midi cables so you can connect to your keyboard.

From what I understand, you can attach as many as you have free USB ports (not into a USB hub but straight in to computer) or up to 2 additional via the midi ports on the units themselves.

It is a USB midi controller with built in sound.. Yes you can with the right software.. PS.. As a previous owner of the controller , I would not recommend buying this as it only works with certain software and the support is terrible. Choose a Numark controller which is the same price, better built and works with most software....

The standard midi out doesn't work unless you get the (not included) power cable. Definitely get that first.

This one has a printer type USB connection (they call it MIDI General) - so a printer cable should work.

It is NOT a midi device. It is a midi Channel. As such all it does is connect your PC to a midi device using the correct protocols. That's all it can do. See instructional stuff all over the web for understanding.
